User blog:Semerone/Translation test BR (2)

This blog is part 2 of the Battle Raiden Translation test and covers Zenki's special attacks and the Japanese version of the tutorial.

You can find part 1, which is about the Japanese version of the ending cutscene by clicking here.

New Findings (In General)
While I was making screenshots of the original, Japanese version of Chiaki's tutorial, I found out, that Battle Raiden not only showcases gameplay of Stage 1-1, but also gameplay of Stage 1-4 (aka the boss battle against Amon / Mouryu).

It always shifts like this:


 * 1) Intro
 * 2) Gameplay presentation of Stage 1-1
 * 3) Intro
 * 4) Tutorial
 * 5) Intro
 * 6) Gameplay presentation of Stage 1-4
 * 7) Intro
 * 8) Tutorial
 * 9) Intro
 * 10) Gameplay presentation of Stage 2-3
 * 11) Intro
 * 12) Tutorial
 * 13) Intro
 * 14) Gameplay presentation of Stage 4-3
 * 15) Intro
 * 16) Tutorial
 * 17) Repeat from 1.

The intro is a cutscene, which shows the Jushi wandering through a forest, visiting the petrified Ryuuma-Ou-Mikado (dragon with an egg in his mouth) and Shijura talking about how much he wants the dragon's power. This leads to Chibi Zenki and Chiaki heading off to stop him when he fiddles with Ozunu's barrier.

The gameplay presentations show short gameplay sequences played by an AI Zenki. These don't show the full stage, but around half of it.

The tutorial is the sequence showing Chiaki explaining Zenki's controls to the player and Demon God Zenki performing the actions she tells you about.

Special Attack Names (Original Names and more...)
While I was translating the Japanese tutorial, I also was able to finally find the original names of Zenki's attacks instead of the misheard audio messes.

In the section below, I present you a table featuring sections labeled like this:

Special Attacks
This section lists the pronounciations and names of Demon God Zenki's 特殊攻撃 (Tokushu kōgeki / Special Attacks).

The Kanji text is how the names of the attacks are written in the original game, the Furigana / Romaji sections are how Zenki pronounces them and the audio section is what it they sound like when a non-native speaker hears his voice.

Light of Vajura
The "Light of Vajura, Destroy the Evil Spirits" attack seen in Battle Raiden is obviously based on the attack he uses in combination with his Vajura attack.

In the Manga, this move is seen when Zenki fights Sairousaiko, while in the Anime it is seen in Episode 2 when he battles Buidou.

When Zenki performs this move, he extends his Diamond Horn from his fist, dashes at the enemy and rams the horn their head, then he fires a beam of holy light (Vajura) from it, which then exorcises the Hyouijuu and leaves behind the freed human and a clean Hyouinomi for Zenki to eat.

Audio
When Demon God Zenki says his attack names, the beginning of some attack names seems to get swallowed or ends up in a "mumbled into his beard"-like state.

It is unknown why this is the case, as Chibi Zenki's lines can be heard more clearly than Demon God Zenki's.

Then, again, they are voiced by two different voice actors, which are the same guys, that voice him in the Japanese version of the anime. (Chibi Zenki is voiced by "Kappei Yamaguchi" and Demon God Zenki is voiced by "Jurota Kosugi")

Helpful comments are welcome!
As previously, I decided to ask you to feel free to leave remarks in the comments, as I knew, that my translation might not be 100 % accurate due to the difficulties I had while translating some of the Kanji.

As such, I especially want to thank Gokimaru for helping out by going ahead and not only retranslating the Kanji, but also adding the Furigana writings, so they get easier to read and to understand for non-native speakers of the Japanese language.

He also gave me the advice for a good site for translating Japanese, which is called Jisho and might help me and others a lot, in case we are uncertain and there isn't a native Japanese speaker floating around the wiki. ^^

Chiaki's Tutorial (Japanese)
This section is about the original, Japanese version of Chiaki's Tutorial.

It also includes my English translation of the Japanese text. Gokimaru helped me by double checking and fixing the translated names of Zenki's Special Attacks.
